King hopes for "Rain"

Monday, August 5, 2024 – Randall King released "I Could Be That Rain" today.

The song was written by Brian Fuller and Mason Thornley, and is the first from his 2024 sophomore record, "Into The Neon." King's vocal delivery captures the pain of unanswered calls and lonely thoughts. Lyrics include:

"Man, I'm pumped," King said. "I've been eager and patient, for this opportunity my whole career, and I am ready to ride those air waves,"

"It's something I've dreamed of since I was a kid, listening to Strait and Alan on the airwaves, mimicking they're singing in the side mirror from the passenger seat. This is 'all I've ever wanted, so I'm chasing that neon rainbow' now."

King is gearing up for his 10-show Into The Neon - International Tour, kicking off Aug. 18 with a sold-out show in Oslo, Norway, and additional sold-out stops in Copenhagen, Denmark and Amsterdam, Netherlands.

In September, King will bring his annual KingFest back to the Nashville Palace, with special guests Walker Montgomery and Brian Fuller on Sept. 13, and Braxton Keith and Mackenzie Porter on Sept. 14.
